Patent CA-2349630-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEVIN HOWARD R
IPC: A61M60/468
Filed: 1999-11-02
Abstract: A cardiac assist system (10) includes a sensor (12) that is operative to sen se the electrical activity of a patient's heart. The sensed electrical activity  is processed by a controller (11) to determine the onset of ventricular contraction. A compressive force from a ventricular assist device (17) is applied to the ventricles during at least a portion of the heart's ventricul ar contraction. The cardiac assist system also includes an electrical stimulati ng system (14, 15). Thus, in the event the heart begins to fibrillate, the electrical stimulating system is actuated to apply stimulating pulses to the  heart.

Inventor: VALD VIA GUILLERMO G
IPC: A63B53/06
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: A method of securing a weight adjustment member within a golf club head cavity comprises irradiating an ultraviolet curable adhesive with ultraviolet radiation and axing the weight adjustment member to the club head. In one embodiment, the ultraviolet curable adhesive is a film member applied to multiple surfaces of a weight adjustment member.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une unité de commande de suspension ainsi que sur une vanne de commande de cette unité qui sont incluses dans un système de suspension informatisé qui contrôle et commande automatiquement et en continu l'allure d'un véhicule. L'unité de commande de la suspension est composée d'un actionneur (12) et d'une unité de régulation d'écoulement (10). L'actionneur comporte un piston (16) dont la tige sépare l'actionneur en première (18) et seconde (20) chambres qui sont reliées à l'unité de régulation d'écoulement. L'unité de commande d'écoulement comprend un réservoir (32) qui reçoit le fluide provenant des chambres de l'actionneur. Un détecteur de position (30) est adapté dans le réservoir de façon à générer des signaux détectant la position du piston (46) et de la tige (42) dans l'actionneur. Au moins une vanne permet de réguler la pression du fluide sortant des première et seconde chambres de l'actionneur, et de réguler, par conséquent, la pression dans les chambres, ainsi que l'amortissement créé par l'actionneur. La vanne possède un corps annulaire (72) pourvu d'un passage d'admission latéral (154) et d'un orifice d'évacuation (64a) communiquant avec le réservoir. Un champignon (74) commandé par un solénoïde (80) est adapté coulissant dans le corps et peut coulisser entre une première position bloquant l'écoulement vers l'orifice d'évacuation et une seconde position ne bloquant pas l'écoulement vers cet orifice d'évacuation. Le champignon de chaque vanne comporte un épaulement (148) exposé vers l'admission. La pression du fluide vers l'admission de la vanne agit sur la partie différentielle du champignon de façon à générer une force de retrait du champignon opposée par la force d'un solénoïde réglable électriquement. Lorsque la pression atteint le repère du solénoïde, le champignon se rétracte en position ouverte, laissant passer l'écoulement par la vanne.

Abstract: An inner cylinder 5 supports and drives a hub shell 1. A sprocket hub 10 is rigidly mounted on one end of the cylinder, and may be integral with it. A bearing 2 at each end of the axle supports the cylinder and sprocket hub for rotation about the axle 1. Outer bearings 16 between the cylinder and hub shell rotationally support the hub shell. A circular ratchet 8 in the interior of the hub shell, and corresponding pawls 6 on the exterior of the cylinder, drive the hub shell when torque is applied to the sprocket hub, and allow the shell to freewheel otherwise. A more central position of the pawl drive in the hub shell compare to prior designs reduces twist of the shell. Wide separation of the bearings supporting the sprocket hub and cylinder provide a highly stable sprocket hub. These features maximize transmission efficiency and reliability.

IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-10-25
Abstract: Applying large-scale DNA microarray techniques, the developmental molecular programs of the hippocampus, a cortical structure critical for learning and memory has been anlyzed. Over 30,000 genes and EST sequences were screened, including an estimated 30-40% of total genes in the mouse genome. As a resul t, the present invention identifies 4,390 genes that showed dynamic changes during hippocampal development. Moreover, using genecluster analysis, these genes were grouped into 16 distinct clusters with striking patterns that correlate with major developmental hallmarks. The covariance analysis strate gy was then applied. This enabled the identification of a group of genes whose expression may underlie the phenotypic changes in the hippocampus.

Abstract: A printing process is provided in which a conductive ink is printed over a printed pattern formed by a coating having an additive that lowers surface tension. Printed electrical elements and antennae (including RFID antennae) are formed using this process. The coating with the surface tension lowering additive is printed on a substrate in a predetermined pattern. A conductive ink is then applied over the coating and, because of the difference in surface tension between the coating and the substrate, the ink flows away from the coating. The conductive ink dries between the printed coating pattern and forms the conductive element.
